I won't make this as specific as Sabredog's previous one, but yeah, whatever. Just post stuff that you're looking for.
Personally, I'm very interested in progressive, symphonic, thrash and melodic death metal, especially combinations of the genres (particularly the first two). I just heard Viva Emptiness by Katatonia, and it's excellent.
Note: the first person to recommend me Therion gets a whipping.
Therion!
Good music.
Oh; and Rick? I was the one who made the last and only thread of this sort. Me. Not Sabredog. Thanks.
Anubis Gate.
Hm...Sex Pistols. ;)
BT. Fantastic artist that makes music that appeals to all kinds of people. There really isn't a single song by him that I don't like.
Weird Al
Maybe...Chemical Brothers.
Hmm... Orbital.
Everyone should listen to some Orbital. :)
Well this thread went down the shitter pretty quick. The whole unique point was that you should describe the kind of recommendation you're after.
Alien Ant Farm?
[quote=Sabredog]Guess I must have been dreaming.
Evidently. Or perhaps I have amnesia.
I'll recommend Rush to Tinkleheimer, just because.
And I'm into metal and prog-rockish stuff.
"it's gonna be me" by n'sync.
it's a good late teen pop era song and i think your rally like it.
I'd reccomend Metric. They are soooooooooo fun.
I know nothing about what you're looking for. So I'll just say In Flames. Moonshield, Jotun, Episode 666 and Embody The Invisible are pretty good starters.
Draconian. They have some death-like vocals as well as female vocals, and their doom metal music is outstanding.
symphony x is some pretty rocking progressive metal
If you like Symphony X, you'll probably like Adagio. They're more orchestral-based progressive metal, and the vocalists from both bands sound almost exactly the same. In fact, the bands in general are almost exact clones of each other. Their latest album Underworld is pretty good.
"Star by Star" - The Kovenant. Very melodic, dreamy metal song.
"Not Enough" by Waltari. Seeing as you used to be really into metal and now you like electronic stuff, this is kinda the best of both worlds.
Katatonia. All the songs from the album Viva Emptiness are great, and in a rather subtle manner too, which you don't often get from such metal. It's sort of like gothic metal, but with a male vocalist (stated by someone who doesn't consider HIM's Ville Valo to be entirely male).
I strongly reccomend Apocalyptica, but you've no doubt already heard their work. If you're willing to step outside the metal genre a bit, I think Death From Above 1979 would be great for you.
I'd recommend Memento Mori's Rhymes of Lunacy album. Great doom album. I was about to comment about how the singer sounds a lot like Messiah Marcolin from Candlemass when I looked it up in the metal archives and found out it's the same guy. An interesting tidbit about the name:
"Memento mori is a Latin phrase that means "Remember that you must die" (or literally "remember mortality"), which is to remind people of their own mortality."
You'd probably enjoy the album Mabool by Orphaned Land, I think they're an Israeli progressive metal band, and their music has some Middle Eastern influences. It's an incredibly epic concept album about the Bibilical flood, and I've only heard one song from it so far. :p
Can somebody reccomend me a good symphonic type metal?
Freedom Call is Power, but should appeal to fans of symph. Check them out, if you haven't already. Orion Riders songs are pretty hard to come by, but they're quite rad, too.
For you Robby, I recommend Apocrypha. The first time I heard "Look to the Sun" I was like, "rob would like this".
I mentioned Katatonia at the start of the page...
^ Kiss' "God Gave Rock 'n' Roll To You" Excellent guitar work as well as vocals.
I recommend anything non-metal, so you don't evolve into a narrowminded elitist like many others have. Metal's good, but there are a great deal other good bands in different genres than metal.
In which case I suggest Porcupine Tree if you don't already listen to them.
Just to add some goofiness and humor, I suggest you look into [url=www.mchawking.com]MC Hawking[/url].
Already done so. Those songs went around school about a year ago. =p
And I recommend to mr I-hate-metal... Porcupine Tree.
already heard porcupine tree, I like em
Porcupine Tree are awsome. I have the song Chroloform stuck in my head.
I don't know how to suggest anything for a guy with as much music as Richoad... so I won't. Jack might want to give the Boom Boom Satellites a listen. All their albums have a unique sound, but their latest (the title escapes me) is my favourite by far.
To Mis0, I recommend... Agalloch. Definitely my favourite band right now. Neofolk/doom.
And their album "The Mantle" is pretty easy to get into.
Well, you've probably heard most of what I listen to, but if you haven't tried out Xandria, do it soon.
non-metal
Estradasphere, I guess.
I know you decent enough to say you don't like hip hop. But Kanye West some song's you might like actually. I don't know.
Madlib, MF Doom, Jay Dilla, and all of thier side projects.
Dream Theater. LOL!!!
Song: "Pure Evil and Hate" by Behemoth off of their album And the Forests Dream Eternally. The song was made as a tribute to early Bathory and is far more relentless and aggressive than anything I've ever heard from Quorthon.
Someone recommend me some good neofolk or ambient music (any type, ritualistic or dark ambient would be best).
Kim - Eminem its a hate song so you might like it. I'm sorry Shin I don't know Rock etc. hate songs.
I like how none of those mentioned, aside from a perfect circle/tool, are ever in the now-playing list. But hey, whatever's trendy, amiright? I remember the linkin park and AFI days too, you crowd follower, you.
I will follow the rule of the thread. I am currently looking for some classical music with latin vocals. I'm all good as far as hymns go (it's all we sing at mass), but I"m interested in some good choral songs with or without a symphony that use latin vocals (not operas, if I can help it). This was inspired by playing Rome: Total War
[quote=Richaod]Well, Adagio have some really classical choral sections and stuff. The starts of the songs Introitus/Solvet Saeclum In Fadilla, Underworld and Missa Aeterna are very symphonic, particularly the first one. That aside, they're like an exact carbon copy of Symphony X but more neo-classical and with more orchestra.
that part.
BJ, I assume you have the Carmina Burana by Carl Orff? What about Mozart's Requiem?
yes and yes, Arwon
and Richoad, Clapton's new album (I'm assuming that you mean Back Home) is decent, at best. It just doesn't have the bluesy depression that Clapton is known for which makes his music good, weird as that sounds, and just doesn't sound as good to me. Mediocre, is the best word. Ahem, mediocre for a clapton album, is the best way to put it.)
Thanks for the suggestions, and Arwon, yes and yes.
